Retro wallpaper for an interior with a vintage and refined aesthetic

With retro wallpaper, create a retro chic atmosphere in every room of your home. The 50s, 60s, 70s or 80s, retro wallpapers are there to take you on a journey through time... without leaving your couch!

All the benefits of retro wallpapers in your decor

On paper, retro wallpaper appeals to you... but you still have some hesitations before taking the plunge? To help you make the right decision, here are a few advantages of retro wallpaper that shouldn't leave you indifferent:

• First of all, since vintage is more than fashionable, that's for sure: by adopting retro chic wallpaper in your home, you're guaranteed to create an atmosphere that's absolutely on-trend!
• With its characteristic motifs and colors (see below), vintage wallpaper never goes unnoticed! Let's be clear: with retro wallpaper in your home, even if your furniture and decor are fairly standard, your wall covering will be the decoration of your room all by itself.
• Retro wallpaper is quite easy to live with: if you pair it with vintage furniture, you can go for a total look and take your interior on a journey through time. But if you prefer, you can also dare to mix and match: retro wallpaper on the walls, and modern furniture to bring contrast and originality.

Last but not least advantage of chic retro wallpaper: with it you have an embarrassment of riches for the destination of your journey through time! The 50s for a 100% authentic vintage feel, the 60s for a more "peace and love" style, the 70s to ride a more pop wave and the 80s to see the decor in psychedelic mode... The hardest part will be making your choice!

Retro wallpaper: warm hues... but not too much!

If there's one thing to acknowledge about retro wallpapers, it's that they're hard to miss! An originality they owe largely to the color palette they display: with them, you can forget the too traditional and neutral colors. Yes indeed: retro wallpaper loves to display unconventional colors, the kind you're not used to seeing on wall coverings. For example brown, purple, anise green, metallic gray...
To add some pep and dynamism to your walls, that's for sure, there's nothing better!

But let's face it, the signature of retro wallpaper is desaturated warm colors: dark red, curry yellow, pumpkin orange, tobacco brown... Colors that will bring warmth and energy to your rooms, but without being too stimulating to the eye!

Geometric motifs, inseparable from chic retro wallpaper

If you're looking for a plain wallpaper to renovate your interior, retro wallpaper is not for you! Indeed, retro wallpaper is always a patterned wallpaper, and no ordinary patterns: geometric motifs, in all sizes and shapes... even the most irregular ones possible. Whether graphic, psychedelic or symmetrical, these vintage motifs all have one thing in common: they will bring dynamism and give character to their destination room.

For optimal aesthetic results, keep one simple but potentially game-changing decorating rule in mind: adapt the size of the motifs to that of your room. In other words: XXL motifs in a large space, and XXS motifs in a small room.

What size for your retro wallpaper?

Because there's something for every decorating wish and every configuration, the retro wallpapers in our collection come in different lengths and widths. So you have the choice between:

• Retro wallpapers that are 30, 40, 53 or 27.6 in wide.
• Retro wallpapers that are 2.70 or 10.05 meters long.

So you've figured it out: retro wallpaper is also available in panoramic format! As a reminder, panoramic wallpaper is a XXL wallpaper that gives the impression you've hung a giant poster directly on your wall. To create a wow effect with a breathtaking decor, clearly, there's nothing better. If you want to give a vintage atmosphere to your interior by wallpapering only one wall of your room, panoramic wallpaper can really be a good option.

Retro wallpaper that's easy to install

One more advantage to acknowledge for retro wallpaper: since all the vintage wall coverings in this selection are part of the non-woven wallpaper family, they install incredibly easily. Indeed, unlike traditional wallpaper which is installed by double pasting (pasting the wallpaper strips and the wall), non-woven wallpaper requires only single pasting. In other words: you apply the adhesive only to the wall. You can forget the pasting table and the bad memories that go with it; with non-woven, hanging wallpaper is an operation accessible to everyone, even Sunday DIYers!
